Sinister Legacy

The seven sins aren’t warnings. They’re a hit list.

Maybe it’s the scar of her father’s unsolved murder. Maybe it’s the bloodline of a cop pulsing through her veins. Either way, FBI Special Agent Claire Legacy lives for the hunt. And in New Orleans—where revelry hides rot and masks conceal monsters—there’s no shortage of criminals to chase.

Especially during Carnival season.

When the captain of the Krewe de Lumière is electrocuted on his parade float in front of thousands, it looks like a freak accident...until Claire finds a note taped to his throne and his obituary publishes the exact second electricity stopped his heart.

This isn’t bad luck. It’s an execution.

And it’s just the beginning.

One by one, New Orleans’s elite begin to fall—each death a grotesque sermon on the seven deadly sins. Behind the gore and spectacle lurks a vigilante force calling themselves the Purifiers. To them, corruption is crime enough to kill for, and slaughter masquerades as salvation.

With Mardi Gras barreling toward its climax, Claire has only days to unmask the killers before the streets drown in more blood. But when her own mother is marked as the next target, the investigation turns person. Because in a city built on secrets, justice isn’t just blind.

It demands sacrifice.

Sinister Legacy, the pulse-pounding second book in the Claire Legacy FBI series by bestselling authors Mary Stone and Alex Gates, blurs the line between sin and salvation—because sometimes the wicked believe they’re the only righteous ones.
